Started stacking in my wood shed AKA greenhouse

[Swedishchef]

Well, I went outdoors in the dark this evening to start getting my wood pile ready for the winter. I normally do this in October however this year I will be gone 3 weeks in October so I decided to start early.

Here's a few pics of my setup. The greenhouse is 8 feet wide and 10 feet long. I can fit a little over 3 cords in it due to the high stacking. Some times I get worried it will tip over, it normally does in the spring when the ground softens.

Man I bet it dries great in there! Well-done!

It dries OK. I cut some slats into the back plastic to allow wind to blow through. I also can roll up the black plastic to have no plastic at all, that certainly lets the wind blow in the front door and out the back.

I had a thermometer inside the greenhouse today. Even with the door OPEN, it was 29C yet it was 17C outside. That plastic mimics a magnefying glass!

That's a cool shed. And it even doubles as a green house.
